Ronda Rousey To Team With Former Rival At Upcoming WWE Live Event

By Sai Mohan

Ronda Rousey is set to team up with SmackDown Superstar Sasha Banks at an upcoming SmackDown live event in Laval, Quebec.

During a commercial break on tonight's RAW, it was announced that Rousey & Banks will take on SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair & Shayna Baszler at a March 6 SmackDown live event in Canada.

Fans on social media pointed out how close friends Rousey and Baszler would be on opposite sides. With Rousey rumored to face Flair at WrestleMania 38, it's possible that the tag match is part of a storyline going into the big match.

On this week's RAW, Rousey told RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch that she would announce her WrestleMania 38 opponent this Friday on SmackDown. As noted, Rousey will be making her SmackDown on FOX debut.

Rousey was interviewed by WWE's Sarah Schreiber following her Royal Rumble win and had the following to say about her return.

"Yeah it is, I mean, it's the statement I wanted to make, and I don't know... that wasn't a question at all, that was a statement," Rousey said.

Schreiber then asked Rousey for her reaction to the big moment. She declared that her priorities have changed now that she's a mother.

"Um, I'm gonna go back to my bus and love on my little baby, and that's really the only thing I care about right now. My priorities have changed," the new mother of one declared.

Schreiber then asked Rousey why she decided to run tonight after being away since the WrestleMania 35 main event in 2019.

"Why? Because it's the Royal Rumble, and I've always wanted to come out and win the Royal Rumble," Rousey said. "What do you mean, why tonight? What other night would be better?"

Stay tuned for a report on Ronda Rousey's full schedule going into WrestleMania 38.
